    Security for IT Professionals

    This track delivers practical, implementation-focused security guidance for IT professionals responsible for protecting real environments. The emphasis is on identity-first security, endpoint protection, and secure-by-design architectures using Microsoft technologies.

    Topics include Entra ID hardening, Conditional Access, passwordless authentication, BitLocker and endpoint encryption, secure remote access, Zero Trust principles, and aligning security controls with regulatory frameworks such as NIS2 and ISO 27001. Sessions also address how AI is changing both attacks and defenses, and how to adopt security tooling responsibly.

    Attendees will gain actionable insight into building resilient, compliant, and operationally realistic security architectures.
